Worst place I have worked in my career! - Avis employé Recruitment Administrator Nurseplus

Working in the care Industry was a first for me. I had taken the role as needed a local job due to child care. I had come from very senior recruitment roles were I had managed staff too. No-one at the interview picked up on this and neither did the Operations Manager who when I gave my CV to, instantly put it aside without reading it. This organisation is based on nepotism and you only get promoted if you are related to or are best friends with someone. Not based on your good work and merit, no appraisal system exists. This agency cares about the bottom line which is profit. There is no concern for the vulnerable clients. Plus worked in an office that wanted me to racial profile care assistants and had to deal with racist name calling all under the banner of it being office banter. Name calling that the manager said it was just banter. They hit their equal opportunity measures as count the carers on zero hours contracts from different backgrounds. But, in their employed staff quota not anyone employed there is from a different background. This is were you should go if you want to be part of an organisation that proclaims to treat everyone the same. In fact if you are white with an English name you will be treated well. Shame if you are not. When raised grievance was told I was lying, there was no concern to hear what was going on and to make changes for the future. As they care for no-one but their own. The trainer they employed just sat and talked at the carers and there was no real interaction or professionalism shown. No control by head office of what goes on at branch level so, the Branch Managers are in control. Most have never managed staff or been trained in HR policy. They have no commercial or people skills and if anyone disagrees they get fired. The Branch Managers do as they like and a great deal have been promoted from being carers so, have no idea of working in an office. The carers were treated like trash on a zero hours contract by the co-ordinars who gave them the Rota as they were power struck. The ones that were looked after were the ones the co-ordinators were friends with. The rap care agencies get is true when it comes to Nurseplus. There is no control or caring going on in this agency. Only profit and having an easy ride. Everyone in head office is related to each other so, any form of protest is dumbed down. If I could have given a zero rating to all I would have.
